About
V. De Sanctis is a researcher whose work centers on the advancement of radiochemistry, particularly in the synthesis of radiotracers for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Their most notable contribution is the refinement of automated synthesis systems for [18F]FDG, a critical radiotracer used in oncology and neurology. In their seminal 1998 paper, De Sanctis detailed improvements to the Anatech RB-86 robotic system, enhancing the efficiency, reliability, and safety of [18F]FDG production. This work addressed key technical challenges in radiopharmaceutical synthesis, such as minimizing radiation exposure and optimizing yield, which are essential for clinical and research applications. While the paper has accrued 3 citations, its impact lies in its practical utility for laboratories seeking robust automation solutions. De Sanctis’s expertise in robotic synthesis systems underscores a commitment to bridging engineering and radiochemistry, enabling more accessible and reproducible production of diagnostic agents. Their contributions remain relevant for researchers and students exploring automated radiotracer synthesis, offering foundational insights into the optimization of PET imaging technologies.
